Why did Boyu go to the Shenmin Hill to pay homage to Yao Ji and ask for the Yan Emperor's order? This is related to the situation in the various ministries in the middle and lower reaches of the rivers in southern China. In the Puban court, many people expressed their disapproval of Boyu's splitting of the witch clouds.
There were objections to the flood control strategy in the mountains, and even Master Xiaoyang, who represented the Bayuan Three Kingdoms, was full of doubts about it.
The emperor Chonghua finally appointed Bo Yu as the minister of flood control, but the prerequisite was that the matter was successfully completed. It cannot be said that Chonghua deliberately made things difficult for Bo Yu, although many ministers suggested that the floods in the river basins should be controlled first, and the affairs in the river basins should be controlled first.
Let’s leave it to later.
However, as the emperor, Chonghua knew very well that if he wanted to mobilize the power of all the ministries in the world to control the water, he had to first solve the problems of the tribes in the southern river basin. Otherwise, the world would be in danger, and he, the emperor, would never be able to sit still, and he must take precautions in his actions.
Not yet.
Think back to the time when the last Emperor Yan, Yu Gong, surrendered to the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. Xuanyuan defeated the rebellious and self-reliant Chiyou and became the co-leader of all tribes in the world. Most of the methods used by the Yellow Emperors in the past dynasties to deal with the forces of the old tribe of Emperor Yan were to mix the mud with sand, that is, to appease and divide them as much as possible.
, integrate, and move some trouble-prone tribes to remote areas.
When Emperor Zhuanxu was the emperor, he toured the country and married women from various tribes. He used intermarriage and relocation to promote the integration of tribes. The situation in various tribes in China has always tended to be stable. However, in the last years of Emperor Yao, with the
With the expansion of the Chinese Empire, the population and territory under its jurisdiction have far exceeded those at the beginning. The situation has changed greatly, and various hidden dangers have gradually emerged.
Historically speaking, the conflicts between the Yanhuang tribes have tended to disappear. Some tribes have been completely integrated into the Chinese Alliance, such as the Siyue tribe. However, in some areas, many conflicts have reappeared or even intensified.
, such as the hidden dangers of the old Jiuli tribe in the south. The Chongchen tribe and the Gonggong tribe have been incompatible for generations, which can also be regarded as a continuation of this conflict.
Chonghua is a person who solves problems, and he was influenced by Bo Yi. The Gu gods were eliminated, the evil spirits were killed, and the hidden dangers of Jiuli's old tribe were solved. After a big battle between Chongchen tribe and Jiuli, Chonghua took the opportunity to recruit
The old department of Jiuli was divided into five major departments, the Gonggong Department was disintegrated, and the three Bojuns were re-canonized.
But this sudden flood not only changed the topography, but also changed the situation of all parts of the world. If it hadn't been for this flood, Chonghua's governance strategy might have completed the transition smoothly; but then again, if
Without this great flood, it would have been difficult for him to replace Chong Bo Gun on the throne of emperor.
After more than ten years of disaster, the overall national strength of the Chinese Alliance has inevitably declined, which cannot be reversed by anyone's will. In the process of decline, many problems and conflicts will be exposed that would not have arisen originally.
Emperor Yao's inability to achieve his goals in the last years of his reign was also due to bad luck, and the same situation existed in the early years of Chonghua's reign.
The great flood created a very complicated situation. The integration and connections between the tribes in the region became closer, because people had to cooperate to fight against natural disasters. However, looking at the entire Chinese territory, the connections and exchanges between tribes in different regions were not
It has been greatly weakened. Because it is separated by water, not to mention other things, just transportation has become extremely inconvenient.
Many tribes suffered heavy losses, and due to population migration and local cooperation, the power of some tribes expanded rapidly. For example, the original Communist Ministry was divided into three, but due to the impact of the flood, two of the tribes moved to the other.
They moved into the tribal territories, and the last tribe that became stronger and stronger was the Xiangliu tribe, which was originally a minister of Gonggong.
In the south of the river, there are not only the five major tribes of Jiuli. Jiuli originally had nine major tribes. Except for the Benli tribe that merged into the Chongchen tribe, Wu Li, Shuili, and Huali are now nameless. They are in the process of migration.
gradually disappeared, and the remaining tribes migrated to the land of Baiyue.
The land of Baiyue is a vast wilderness south of the mouth of the river. The location is very remote. The area where they originally lived was full of wild people. After these remnants of the Li people arrived in Baiyue, they intermarried with the Baiyue tribe and merged with the local tribes.
Since then, the most important tribe is the Fangfeng clan.
Many tribes were affected by this great flood, and the people of Baiyue collaborated to control the flood. The Fangfeng tribe took advantage of the situation and rose to become the leader of the local tribal alliance.
Emperor Yao had planned to ennoble Lord Fangfeng as the Bojun of China, but Lord Fangfeng refused because it was not necessary. Emperor Yao did not pursue it, and it was also unnecessary. The land of Baiyue was too big at that time.
It is remote, far to the southeast across the river from the Ministry of Public Works. Not only is the climate hot and humid and plagued by malaria, but the river is a natural chasm, making it difficult to have anything to do with the Central Plains.
When Chonghua became emperor, he sent envoys to confer the title of Prince of China on Fang Feng. This time Fang Feng accepted the title because the situation had changed. With the help of Chong Bo Gun's physical and spiritual clone, Fang Feng united with Baiyue.
Various ministries controlled the water and took advantage of the situation to rise and become the leader of the tribal alliances in this area.
In this case, the Fangfeng clan also needed to be canonized by the emperor, and all the ministries in the world would confirm its status and sphere of influence. However, this canonization was only nominal. Due to the obstruction of the flood, it was impossible for the Fangfeng clan to mobilize manpower and material resources to cross the river.
Those who crossed the river had contact with other places, but only expanded in the land of Baiyue.
The current situation in the middle and lower reaches of the river is very special. The important tribes such as Gu Li, Feili, Mu Li, Qi Li, Shan Li, Xiang Liu, and Fang Feng are all the old tribes of Emperor Yan. Although the Chongchen tribe is a descendant of Zhuan Xu,
But he also inherited the title of Zhu Rong from Emperor Yan's time. What's even more subtle is that everyone in the world knew that Lu finally mastered Chi You's magic skill.
The center of the emperor's rule was in the Central Plains. Due to the separation of the great floods, the control over the southern river basins was getting weaker and weaker. After years of disasters, the resentment in the hearts of the people was of course growing. Many people were dissatisfied with the emperor's rule.
It is even believed that the great flood was caused by the emperor's lack of morality. This situation was most serious among the old tribes of Emperor Yan in the south.
Before and after Chonghua came to power, he simply and swiftly crushed Huandou and Sanmiao, two forces that had a great influence on the government, and consolidated his rule in the Central Plains. However, he also felt unable to control the situation in the southern ministries. It was not Chonghua.
It is incompetence, but it is fate. The decline of national power has given rise to and exposed many other problems. As long as the flood does not go away, it will be difficult to fundamentally solve it, and it will even get worse day by day.
What Chonghua wanted to do was to turn the tide of emperor's reign. After he became emperor, he tried his best to preserve Emperor Yao's reputation as a virtuous person. This also revealed his inner pursuit. He wanted to achieve Emperor Yao's virtuous deeds.
Therefore, when he appointed Boyu as the minister of flood control, he must first solve the problem of the southern river basin. Otherwise, he would first control the big river basin and then allow the situation in the river basin to rot, which would lead to more dissatisfaction among Yan Emperor's old tribes and even lead to the split of China. If it is true.
In that case, not only would Chonghua not be able to leave a virtuous name for generations to come, but it would also go against what he wanted in this life.
The problems faced by various tribes in China are not only the recurrence of the general trend of Yan-Huang integration, and the danger of the alliance being torn apart by floods; within each tribe, there are also increasingly sharp conflicts between the upper-class nobles and the lower-class people. If the kings of each tribe can get
Without the support of his subordinates, it is also a very dangerous trend for the emperor.
Most of the people suffering are the people at the bottom of the tribes, and they also direct their grievances at the top of the tribe. The top leaders of the tribes represented by you may not have done well enough, but in today's situation, many things are indeed very important.
Helplessly, Bo Yi was assassinated in the Longxi Plain, which reflected these two conflict trends at the same time.
More than thirty tribes, large and small, were involved in the assassination of Bo Yi. This was to undermine Emperor Yao's attempt to reverse the situation and further expand the differentiation trend among various tribes in China.
In the eyes of various tribesmen, Bo Yi was a sharp sword hanging over their heads, but in the eyes of ordinary people in various tribes, Bo Yi was an upright hero and even the benefactor who saved them.
Take the five major tribes of the original Jiuli as an example. Each of the tribesmen was a little afraid of Bo Yi, but most of their tribesmen respected Bo Yi. Even if a prince participated in the assassination of Bo Yi, I am afraid he would not dare to let his tribesmen
I know. On the other hand, the five monarchs all respect the emperor and his splendor, but the thoughts of the tribesmen may not be the same.
If Chonghua wants to achieve a lifetime of virtuous achievements, he must resolve this crisis, win over the people of all tribes, and complete the complete integration of the old tribes of Yan and Huang. In order to turn the tide, he needs someone who can turn the tide, and the most suitable person now is only Boyu.
And Boyu didn't know the situation clearly. If he wanted to control the floods in the river basin, he needed the unanimous cooperation of Emperor Yan's old tribe.
The first thing Boyu had to do now was to persuade the old tribes of Emperor Yan in the lower reaches of the river to allow them to migrate again. However, there was already a voice among the people of various tribes. The emperor appointed Boyu as the minister of flood control, and Boyu proposed such a flood control strategy.
It is not conducive to the former Yan Emperor's old tribe, as they are unwilling to actively cooperate with the emperor's orders.
The kings of the tribes ostensibly accepted orders, and the people in the tribes were really willing to obey the orders, but the actual effect of execution was very different. What Boyu will bring to the lower reaches of the river is an even greater flood.
Relocation is a matter for the people themselves. If many tribes fail to evacuate from the dangerous area after the emperor accepts the order, once heavy casualties are caused, it will not only be Boyu who bears the responsibility, but the former tribes of Emperor Yan may even unite to rebel.
Under the current situation, Boyu may be able to command the various ministers based on his status as the Chinese flood control minister, but he cannot truly call on all the tribes and people.
When he was helpless, Boyu remembered something. Mr. Lu Zhang once saw Yaoji in the court of Ba Kingdom and showed something, which was the token of Emperor Yan's order to all ministries. And under Huwa's guidance, Boyu
He came to Yan Emperor's Immortal Palace to ask for Yan Emperor's order, but Yao Ji asked him to climb the Shenmin Hill by himself.
When Boyu explained the purpose of his visit, Yao Ji frowned slightly and said, "Now that Emperor Yan is no longer in power, you are taking Yan Emperor's order and trying to order Yan Emperor's old troops. What is the difference between what you did and what Jiang You did back then?"
Jiang You is Chi You. At that time, Chi You did not receive the Yan Emperor's order, but he led his tribe to rebel against the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and once proclaimed himself the Yan Emperor. Now, as a minister of the Yellow Emperor, Boyu took the Yan Emperor's token to order the former Yan Emperor's old tribes
, this is no joke, it is clearly suspected of treason!
Boyu explained: "It is not an order, but an invitation. Now there are rumors on both sides of the river that the Emperor of China ordered Yu to control the floods, which will be detrimental to the Yan Emperor's old tribe. Some people even use the name of the Yan Emperor's old tribe to incite people to disobey. I hold this order
I have it in hand, not to give orders to the various ministers, but to appease the people in various places and be willing to listen to my explanation of flood control strategies, so that the rumors can be dispelled without any attack."
Yao Ji looked at him and said meaningfully: "Master Boyu is really brave."
Boyu replied calmly: "Yan and Huang are both sons of Shaodian, and they should support each other without distinguishing each other. What is wrong with Huang Emperor's ministers holding Yan Emperor's orders to appease the people and discuss flood control strategies with various ministries?"
Yao Ji nodded with a complicated look on her face and said, "If Lord Boyu succeeds, this order will no longer be of any use, so there is no need to return it to me."
What does this mean? Boyu has just revealed his ambition to use water control to complete the complete integration of the Yandi tribe. If he can really succeed, then this Yandi Token will have no practical use. This is a gift under special circumstances.
It may provoke divisions and conflicts among various parts of China, but it can also play a role in bridging the rifts, depending on who uses it for what purpose.
If the rift between the old Yanhuang tribes is completely healed, and they can truly support each other without distinguishing each other, then the Yandi Order will be just a historical relic. Listening to Yao Ji's meaning, she is not just lending the Yandi Order to Bo.
Yu, but gave it to him directly.
Boyu bowed down and said, "All descendants of Yan and Huang should thank Fairy Yaoji."
But Yao Ji shook her head and said: "The person they should thank is not me. I didn't do anything. If water control can be achieved, governance of the world can also be achieved. All descendants of Yan and Huang should thank you, Lord Boyu!" (To be continued.)
